Salicylic Acid & Sulphur 20% Ointment
Salicylic Acid & Sulphur 20% is a high-strength keratolytic ointment used to treat chronic skin conditions where the skin has become thickened or scaly. This dual-action formula combines a potent concentration of Salicylic Acid with the mild antiseptic properties of Sulphur to provide effective relief for stubborn skin issues.
Powerful Keratolytic Treatment
With a 20% concentration of Salicylic Acid, this ointment acts as a strong keratolytic agent. It works by breaking down keratin, the protein that forms the structure of the skin's outer layer. This process causes dead skin cells to shed, making it highly effective for treating:
- Warts and Corns: Helps soften and remove hardened skin growths.
- Plaque Psoriasis: Reduces the thickness of scales and plaques.
- Calluses: Smooths out thickened skin on hands and feet.
- Chronic Seborrheic Dermatitis: Manages scaly skin patches.
The addition of Sulphur provides antibacterial and antifungal benefits, helping to protect the treated area from secondary infections.
How to Use
Always follow the specific instructions provided by your doctor or chemist. Since this is a high-strength 20% ointment, it should be applied carefully only to the affected area.
- Clean and dry the area before application.
- Apply a thin layer of the ointment directly to the wart, corn, or callus.
- Avoid contact with healthy surrounding skin.
- Wash hands thoroughly after use.
Precautions
Due to the high concentration of Salicylic Acid, this product is significantly stronger than standard acne treatments. It should not be used on sensitive areas like the face or genitals unless directed by a specialist. If you experience excessive burning or irritation, discontinue use and contact a GoMed pharmacist for advice.
